543 Decisive (1/2)
It was a youth, around thirty years old. It was Wu Feng, the Purple Qi Pavilion genius who had met Mo Wen once before. He was listed as one of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension's Four Geniuses along with Yin Banshuang.
”Wu Feng, you can't…”
”Wu Feng, come back…”
The youth in white acting in such a way immediately caused the expressions of the others to change. The three elders were all Purple Qi Pavilion elders. Not only was their cultivation rich, but they were also respected. Their cultivations were all at the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm.
Wu Feng, on the other hand, was the Purple Qi Pavilion's number one genius. In the future, he was highly likely to become one of the three huge figures in the Purple Qi Pavilion. How could they let anything happen to such a person? Even the three elders together would most probably not be as precious as he was.
For Wu Feng to stay back alone and hold them off was impossible. The three Purple Qi Pavilion elders would not wish to leave him alone, and even if they truly ignored their emotions and left him in order to escape, they would be punished by the pavilion leader when they returned to the sect.
”Sect elder brother, if you aren't going, I'm not going.”
Meng Tiantian tried to struggle free from the grasp of the elder in purple. However, with her cultivation, how could free herself from the hands of a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner? The Purple Qi Pavilion elder who was holding her wouldn't let her add to their troubles.
”Elders, stop hesitating. I have a spiritual weapon in my hand. Even if I encounter an intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous beast, I can hold it off for a while. It still takes 15 minutes to reach the level entrance from here. If you don't leave now, none of us will be able to leave later,” Wu Feng said anxiously.
In fact, his decision to stay behind was not without reason. Even though the three elders were highly respected, their combat ability was weaker than his. Furthermore, he was the only one with a spiritual weapon among the five of them. Him staying behind might lead to their survival. Otherwise, if the others stayed behind, they would surely die.
Also, if he could not hold the monstrous beasts back for long, the monstrous beasts would still continue chasing them. For the others, it would have been no help at all.
”Elder Gongyang Cheng, please send Tiantian to a safe place. The two of us will stay back and help Wu Feng.”
The other two elders turned around and stopped running. Together with Wu Feng, they blocked the way.
”This…” The elder in purple called Gongyang Cheng had not anticipated that such a situation would occur. Were they asking him to escape alone? How would he be able to face his colleagues in the sect in the future?
He clearly knew how powerful the Snow Leopard King was. Even among the intermediate stage seventh rank monstrous beasts, it was considered one of the top. Even if Pavilion Leader Ye Rong appeared here, she would not necessarily be more powerful than the Snow Leopard King.
Even Wu Feng and the two elders joining forces would not necessarily be able to block the Snow Leopard King. Moreover, the Snow Leopard King had four beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beasts and a large pack of sixth rank monstrous beasts beside it. Once one was caught in such a line-up, it was too difficult to even slaughter one's way out.
”Old man Gongyang, if you hesitate any longer, we will die in vain. Don't forget Tiantian's status. She cannot die here.”
Seeing that Gongyang Cheng was not willing to go, the other three instantly got anxious. If they delayed any longer, none of them could escape.
Right now, Wu Feng was already going against the Snow Leopard King. However, with just one exchange, he had been beaten up by the Snow Leopard King to the point of coughing blood. Luckily, he had a grand seal spiritual weapon in his hands. It could attack and defend at the same time, narrowly blocking a few of the Snow Leopard King's attacks.
The other two elders of the Purple Qi Pavilion also did not have time for talking nonsense. They were each blocking two beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beasts.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Under normal circumstances, monstrous beasts of the same rank were stronger than human ancient martial art practitioners. A beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beast would at least be stronger by a level compared to a normal beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, unless they encountered a genius like Yin Banshuang.
It would be difficult for the two elders of the Purple Qi Pavilion to face a beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beast, let alone taking on two each as they were doing now. In a short while, they were in danger and began to panic.
Gongyang Cheng ground his teeth, then finding his resolve, ran for his life. He knew that even if he entered the battle again, aside from running to his death, he would most likely not be able to change the end result. It was okay for an old bag of bones like him, but Meng Tiantian could not die here.
Gongyang Cheng ran furiously the whole way. Before he had run more than a few kilometers, he noticed there were people heading towards them. In such a huge Beast Lair, the chances of encountering human ancient martial art practitioners were very slim, even though there were many human ancient martial art practitioners who had entered the Tan Zi Beast Lair.
”From the looks of it, you seemed to not be doing so well.” Mo Wen was walking in mid-air as though he was casually taking a stroll. But every step he took covered a distance of hundreds of feet. He had actually left Yin Banshuang behind.
”May I ask who you are?” Gongyang Cheng's eyes flashed with a look of joy when he saw someone coming. If they encountered a group of human ancient martial art practitioners, they would most probably be able to solve their crisis. After all, human ancient martial art practitioners that could reach the second level would most likely not be ordinary.
Of course, after living so many years, Gongyang Cheng would not just trust anyone he met. In the Beast Lair, it was common for dog-eat-dog situations to occur. Sometimes, encountering human ancient martial art practitioners was not necessarily a good thing.
So, when they were a few hundred meters away, he stopped, not wanting to get too close to Mo Wen.
”I am Mo Wen,” he said plainly.
